An eco-friendly extraction process
Supercritical CO2 technology utilises a gas in its supercritical state as a solvent, offering numerous advantages:
- Overcome the use of harmful chemical solvents.
- Increase the quality in final product, until now limited by the use of less selective solvents.
- Improve extractive efficiency.
- In addition, CO2, unlike traditional solvents (Hexane, Ethanol,etc...), is completely removed while extraction is running.
